Is it just me, or is anyone else fed up with this weather? It's snowing here again, and it's bloody freezing! All I have managed over the last three weeks is to start the S2 and leave it running with the garage door open......Come on Spring!!

Yep, I hate the snow!! It's like rain that hangs around for longer! The S ins't back on the road yet, but it better be dry when it does get back on the road!! Last year, I had to drive the S to work in the North East, through 6" of snow, not nice after work when the car's covered in snow and freezing cold. Roof off?? Hell Yes!!

Good for you, I too still have the roof off, but haven't been out for a couple of weeks, as it's a bit 'too' cold!.....I know, WIMP I hear you cry!

Not too bad in Dorset - we never get proper snow. Never settles.

I'd drive the Tiv but they've salted the roads anyway!

The weather is really letting me down, the s is outside minus engine and the griff is stuck behind it in the garage.
I am also a roofer so its just not fair

Just spotted the article about the new hard tops you can get for the Griff...that's gotta be worth a look???? Probably a serious dent in the bank balance though

Like Adam,only car, so the S is out daily come what may.The snows melting as fast as it falls in Kent but the salt on the roads dosen't seem to be washing away!
Hope that waxoiling over Christmas is still under there!

That fully flip down top for the S is still on the cards for development later this year, making it easier to enjoy roof down driving during inclement weather!

IMHO the price was pretty reasonable, considering development, manufacturing, materials costs.

Tell me about it, apart from the Virginia Waters day out (hood down of course unlike some of the other S owners ) the car has been stuck in the garage. Hopefully it will stay a little dry over the weekend and I will get out for a blast, the cold is not a problem, but snow and rain ......No thanks!
